I always love Conference weekend. I have to confess a lot of it has to do with just being able to be home with Kyle and the kids. But I especially love the inspiration and spiritual rejuvenation that comes with the various talks. And this conference did not disappoint. There were thoughts and even whole talks that felt relative and so meaningful to the questions and concerns of my life.
The most memorable moment was undoubtedly the moment of the announcement of the Provo Tabernacle to rebuilt and turned into a temple. I don't think I ever blogged about it (maybe??), but the both Kyle and I were devastated at the fire that destroyed the tabernacle. It was where we attended stake conference from the time we were first married. Kyle even gave a talk in Stake Conference a couple weeks after Kekoa was born.
When I heard President Monson announce that it would be Provo's second temple I couldn't help but get emotional. I always knew the church would rebuild it - how could they not restore such a historic place. But I never imagined a temple. To me it was a perfect example of how Heavenly Father can take a tragedy, trial or weakness and make something more - something beautiful and amazing.
We were also excited to hear that Kyle's mission, Barranquilla, Colombia will also be getting a temple.
What a happy, happy day : )

So exciting! I'm trying to see if I can convince Tim to take me down for the dedication of the temple in Barranquilla. Not sure if he's going to go for it. :)
